2026 TMTA Conference – Sneak Preview!
I’ve been so hard at work preparing for my booth at the upcoming Texas Music Teacher Association’s 2026 Conference! I’ll be selling in-person at my booth June 11-13. Please come out and visit me!
An in-person booth gives me an opportunity to test out physical products. I’ve made SO many things for my little pop-up shop this year and I wanted to give a preview to all of you. I’ll be offering a mix of MUSICAL GIFTS/STATIONARY and EDUCATIONAL goods, so there will be something for everyone!
Can’t come to the conference? No problem! You’ll see these items pop up in my online shop over the month of June.
Scroll through to see some of my offerings. This is just a preview, there will be even MORE at the booth!
Let me know in the comments what you are most excited about!
Spinners!
I really loved making these. Laser cut acrylic and 3d Printed arrows… these cute spinners are designed to add some random fun to piano lessons. There are 3 kinds: Animal Alphabet, Scales, and Ways to Play.
Handmade Earrings
I am SO excited to introduce this line of earrings. I have a few more designs I’ve made since taking this picture, and they will all be available at my booth! This is just the beginning for me and making musical themed jewelry. I have so many ideas and yes, I plan to bring charms and pendants to the line up as well for people who don’t wear earrings.
Here’s a story of why the earrings are so important to me: When I was a little girl (5-6 years old) my mom took me to meet a new piano teacher. That teacher always wore the COOLEST big earrings. For that reason alone, I wanted to take piano with her. Something as silly as music themed earrings can really have huge impact on a child’s experience. Art, even in the form of fun themed earrings, has a way to speak to our souls! That’s why I think it’s so important to use fun-illustrated materials as educators, too.
Sticky Notes
These are Post-It note branded sticky notes featuring more of my art! FINALLY I have some real stationery in the store. I’ve been wanting to do this forever.
Notepads
I can’t live without notepads. They are KEY to my productivity. I love that they are lined, because I need to make SO MANY LISTS. They match the artwork of the sticky notes above!
RoboSteps & Essential Piano Teaching Sticker Sheets
ROBOSTEPS!!! Everyone LOVES Robosteps! They are the perfect visual aid for learning how whole and half steps build scales. This picture is of me practicing putting together my interactive display. I hope if you come and stop by, you test out some RoboSteps.
Also in the picture above are my beloved Essential Piano Teaching Sticker Sheets. There are highlight dots, Left hand & Right hand stickers, and music symbols. These stickers are designed to go right into sheet music. The highlight dots and music symbols go on clear and don’t block anything behind them! (Also, a peak behind the curtain, I have tested new laminating methods on the clear stickers so that they are even more durable now!)
More Educational Products!
The Picture Scales Practice Book, Clothes Pin Animal Alphabet Activity, and Animal Alphabet Grand Staff Flash Cards are already in my shop, but I’ve added TWO MORE products to the line up:
Introducing Rhythm Strips and Fishy Music Match!
So, I did offer these last years in my booth, but I had made them myself. This year, I had them professionally printed so they are very thick and durable. The Fishy Music Match is a matching game for beginners, and the Rhythm Strips are a color coded flash card set with multiple levels all in one deck.
Fun with Frogs – Print Editions
Fun with Frogs is one of my flagship products. Written and illustrated by my mother, Susan Paradis, the Fun with Frogs beginner series is LOVED by SO many piano teachers. Come pick up a physical copy for your students. I love that the games pages are perforated for easy tearing out. I also love that it is spiralbound allowing students to focus on one page at a time.
Last Minute Addition! Wooden Rhythm Dominoes
I didn’t know if I was going to get these finished in time, but it turns out I did! The Wooden Rhythm Dominoes are all made and ready to go! I am really curious how these will be received. I’ve been playing it with my son, and it’s been pretty fun! This would be a good one to keep around for group lessons or summer camps.
These are handmade, constructed right in my garage at my house with my beloved laser cutter.
Vinyl Stickers
There will be 15 designs of waterproof, dishwasher safe, uv resistant vinyl stickers featuring cute musical art. I saw some students putting them on their instrument cases, what a great idea!
Sticker Sheets
I’ll have a bunch of my hand-drawn sticker sheets available, including these cute animal alphabet ones! (These work great in student’s music books!)
